  • It is well worth the while drinking all of your coffee when at the end such sexy rewards remain in your cup.
    Especially if enjoyable without censorship.

  • In 2000 Obama bought a Jeep Grand Cherokee from a dealership. Today the car has 133,000 miles under the hood and the lady who had bought the car at a used-car dealer, decided to bring it to an auction. Now the Jeep has been found by a collector of presidential artifacts.

  • "Yesterday, I asked my eleven-year-old daughter what she thought moms needed for Mother's Day. She replied, "Moms need two things: 1-Coffee, and, 2-A day for themselves."

The card holder could visit different Gourmet Cafés in London and after buying 8, Davies would pay the ninth.

    Dooley explains one aspect behind the Cafè choices:

    "We want places that see coffee as an agricultural product that changes every day, something that should be in the vegetable and fruit aisle."
